Answer:

You need to have a hook, bridge, and thesis in your introduction.

Explanation:

What is being compared or contrasted in this excerpt?

A comparison between the power of a star and the power

of a whirlpool is being made.

Acontrast between the power of a star and the power of a

whirlpool is being made.

A comparison between the power of a black hole and the

power of a whirlpool is being made.

A contrast between the power of a black hole and the

power of a whirlpool is being made.

Answers

This question is missing the excerpt. I have found the complete question online. Since the options are the same, I will omit them:

Read the excerpt from A Black Hole is NOT a Hole.

However, near a black hole, gases and dust and stars encounter its tug. Some things may be hurtling by so fast they won't get pulled into the black hole. Other things may not be as swift. They will be drawn in.  

Closer and closer, the tugging force gets stronger and stronger. Close enough, the black hole no longer acts like a whirlpool.  

With a whirlpool, there's always a fast-enough fish—or a fast-enough something—that moves so quickly it won't be pulled all the way into the center.  

Not so with a black hole! Within a certain distance the black hole's power is so strong, nothing is fast enough to zip away.  

What is being compared or contrasted in this excerpt?

Answer:

The excerpt presents:

D. A contrast between the power of a black hole and the  power of a whirlpool is being made.

Explanation:

First, we can see the excerpt is mentioning the characteristics of a black hole and of a whirlpool. With this in mind, we can eliminate options A and B, which mention "the power of a star" instead of "the power of a black hole."

Second, we need to decide whether the author is comparing or contrasting. Comparing means looking for similarities. Contrasting means looking for differences. Let's take a look at the lines below:

"With a whirlpool, there's always a fast-enough fish—or a fast-enough something—that moves so quickly it won't be pulled all the way into the center.  

Not so with a black hole! Within a certain distance the black hole's power is so strong, nothing is fast enough to zip away."

The author is clearly contrasting the two. The difference between them is being explained here: it is possible to escape a whirlpool, but it isn't possible to escape a black hole. Therefore, letter D is the correct one.

Answer:

It's D, I promise

ICU by Grace chua. How does the poet's use of the phrase "I can't see" in stanza 3 help
develop the theme of the poem?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

"ICU" by Grace Chua is a poem that deals with the loss of a loved one and the understanding we have of death. The last stanza is the following:

But I can't see

for the life of me

the far-off

places

to which

you

stray

When the speaker says that she "can't see" those places, she means she cannot understand death nor what happens after it. She can surely understand pain. As she watches her loved one lying in a hospital bed, she can sense death is only a matter of time. She knows that person will soon be gone, and that she will hurt because of it. But where will that person go? What happens then? That is something she cannot see.

What is central idea of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?

William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is about the homicide of Caesar and the battle for force of Rome. The play manages topics of unwaveringness, great clashing with evil, appearance versus reality, ravenousness, power, and so forth.

In the given passage from the text, we see Cassius and Brutus, the two fundamental schemers of Caesar's homicide, in discussion. Cassius accepts that Brutus doesn't cherish him and that a companion ought to overlook his shortcomings.

This incited Brutus to concede that main toadies would overlook the incredible flaws of Cassius, which, to him are as immense as high Olympus. Here, the implication to Mount Olympus stresses the shortcomings of Cassius that Brutus finds.

Narrative Writing Write a story of about 250 -300 words which includes the line "It was the same bus I got onto every day, but that day, as I sat down, I sensed something was different.

Answers

Answer:

I woke up and it was a rainy day. It had never rained where I live, I didn't own the appropriate clothes for a rainy day so I wore my usual clothing. Every day I did the same thing.  I woke up, had breakfast, dressed up, took the bus, worked, went back home, slept. I was tired of the routine and when I was falling asleep I wished I had a different day for a change. When I woke up that day, I felt my wish had come true. It was raining. I waited for the bus and when it arrived I had a strange feeling. It was the same bus I got onto every day, but that day, as I sat down, I sensed something was different.

After a few minutes, I realized the bus driver was taking another road. I wondered if I had taken the wrong bus, but I checked and it was the right one. When I was about to ask the bus driver what was he doing, he say 'we've arrived', everyone got off the bus and I followed them. I never imagined seeing something like what I saw when I wished I had a different day. There were aliens waiting for us in the bus stop!! No one looked surprised, I was shocked. When I tried to talk to the people who was next to me, they all looked at me as they didn’t understand what I was saying. I freaked out and that’s when I woke up. For real this time. I was dreaming!!! I looked at the window with a rare feeling about what I had just dreamt and it was raining...

To complete this exercise, you have to write a story using the line given. I wrote about a person that is tired of the routine so she wishes her days could be different. It's important to use the line given, whether you use it at the beginning, middle or even end of the story, it just has to make sense with the context of the story.

3. C or A, depending on what your teacher prefers

4. B

5. buses

Explanation:

Remember, only put apostrophes on the object when it possesses (has) something.

For plural objects, only put one apostrophe and one letter S, like this: puppies' (not puppies's).

Regarding last names ending with the letter S, both S' and S'S are correct; it just depends on what your teacher prefers.

Example: Jones' or Jones's are both correct.
